DSLR, yes or no???

Omg, ya... After 1yr of getting my Panasonic TZ7, I'm thinking abt getting a DSLR again =(
This time round, it's all bcos of the influence of Ainsley's pic... She took really nice pics of Kion with her Canon EOS550d? & I'm beginning 2 fall in love with it.

Ok ok, I didnt forget the reasons of y I abundoned the ideas of getting a DSLR a year ago... I was really very keen in getting one at that time, especially when Daddy also strongly agree that I should get one (I think cos he misses his Canon EOS, negative type, dunno what model,).

Yet after listing down the pros & cons, I finally decided on the Panansonic TZ7, a not bad 'point & shoot" camera, with full HD recording =) I'm happy with the result I got for the pics I took for the past 1 year, yet I secretly hoped that my Panansonic can have a faster shutter speed?? & gives better quality night shots.

Frankly speaking, a camera will never be as good as a video-cam when u take video, therefore I ended up with my sony view-cam CX550 6mths ago. the Vcam gives very good quality video & I'm very glad with my purchase except for the fact that I now, have 2 carry 2 equipments everytime I go for my holidays...

Now that I am once again thinking of a DSLR, it means extra weight 2 carry again should I buy it, and not 2 mention, the lens, & the costs of the lens involves if I should invest in a DSLR =(

Arrghh... Headache!!! Anyway, if I'm getting 1, should get real quick, like what Ainsley said, quickly buy & get myself used 2 the functions so that I can bring it 2 Tokyo with me in Jan 2 take beautiful pics of Kion =)

Another meet-up with Ainsley for Dim Sum, yum yum!!!

We met-up again this afternoon, sorry Huiyi & friends as I really got no time for the gathering organized for this evening, Ainsley & I decided 2 meet up @T1 again for lunch, so that I could get some of the Tokyo info from her =)

Hmmmm... this time round, there were Winnie, Kion, Phoebe & Rianne joining us. Kion seems to like Phoebe alot, they were sitting next to each other, colouring & drawing together, while Winnie, maybe too grown up already, doesn't seems to be able to blend in with them.... She sat beside me & just ate whatever I put on her plate=p

As for Nn, maybe she didnt sleep enough, dunno whether would she b like Kion when she grow older, hates to sleep, as her eyes does looks tired although she seems energetic...

Anyway, Kion enjoyed herself this afternoon, telling me that she would want to go for lunch with "Phoebe Jiejie" again =) & me??? Of cos, am more than happy to meet-up with my long long ago friend ^_^

This year's Christmas = super busy

Yes, super busy + super tired cos there are so many presents to prepare....

We r hosting the X'mas eve dinner with my family as Kelvin's drinking khakis would be away... Poor Hubby, last year we went on holidays during X'mas therefore no count down party for him, then this year, drinking mates going on holidays during X'mas, again no count down party... Hehehee...

Anyway, as family members r coming on X'mas eve, we decided 2 get presents for all the kids. Of cos, we already bought Kion her X'mas present, the dog which has sensor & on leash, so that u can bring it for a walk, & it's well hidden in the store. We decided to hide it from her so that she wouldn't open it till X'mas =) Anyway, I dont no y is this toy dog sooo EX, I mean $99.90(after 30% discount) for a toy dog??? I heard the man standing beside me, telling his wife "I definitely won't buy it, not worth buying" while Kelvin & I happily choosed 1 & made our way to the cashier... Can't help laughing @myself as a part of me does feels that what the man said is right, but a part of me just wanted 2 be stupid as I could visualise the happiness on Kion's face when she unwrap her gift =)

Actually, christmas shopping is almost done except for some small details which I should have it settled soon, maybe by tomorrow....Oh & did I mentioned that I even ordered our log cake from 'The Patissier' =) I love their cakes, yum yum!!!

Kion's Graduation Day @MGS (11-12-2010)

YES, Kion graduated!!! sounds funny rite, I mean she is just 2yrs old...=) I can't even remember how old was I when I attended YMCA @stevens rd & the only performance I remembered doing was when I was in Kindergarten, & it ended up with me crying on stage... yet my brave little princess, went on stage & danced like a star (in my eyes)....

So Kion graduated from "bright starts 1" and performed on stage LIVE today=)

Although I had 2 admit that I did felt quite upset initially as Kion was blocked by the taller children & I couldnt get a clear video of her performing. Yet I feel so proud looking at how well she had done, remembering all her dance steps on stage=)

As this is gonna b Kion's last year in WeeCare, I cant help but feels a bit sad... The teachers there are nice, always showering Kion with love...
Thinking back, it's only abt 1.5yrs spent @ WeeCare, but dunno y, the tot of leaving, does makes me feel sad. I think Kion & I r gonna miss teacher Bianca, teacher jean etc etc...

Frankly speaking, I dunno if I had made a right decision to withdraw Kion from WeeCare, but since this is what she wanted, to be with Kyra & Giselle, & also what I wanted, to go to a school with a longer curriculam hours, Y not try it out, it may just work out fine, who knows right???

Anyway, how bad can the worst scenario be? probably had 2 beg Vannessa & I'ling to take Kion back, or just wait till yr2012, to enrol Kion into 'School house by the bay' =p

As 4 now, hope Kion enjoys her holiday program with her Teachers @WeeCare =)
